Baseball schedule Matchbooks were
often used by a variety of advertisers.
The idea being after all the matches
are used the baseball fan, will keep
the schedule for their favorite team,
saving the advertising on the other
side. Distillers commonly used
matchbook schedules, distributing them
to bars
where baseball fans gathered for a
drink and a smoke. Taverns & lounges
also used this medium to promote their
establishment.
There was a time when smoking cigars &
cigarettes at the game was permitted.
Cigarettes were even sold at the
ballpark. Some teams printed their own
complimentary matchbook schedules., and
made them available at the ballpark.

Dodgers" 1939 home game schedule

to spell "DODGERS" present them at 215
